Thanks for the tips. We had a zapper but the sucker died. We have bad flies under our porch area too. I imagine it comes from the Chicken coop that is right next to our back porch. We have a tiny backyard farm so we squeeze many garden beds and chickens and rabbits in where we can. The amount of...

ARGH! Mosquitos are so bad right now. We live right next a nature area that has a bit of a creek in it, especially now with all the rain and sun, rain and sun we've gotten this spring. My poor buns are getting swarmed. Especially at dusk. Any suggestions on how to combat them?

Good plan. It's too late now as our beds and containers are mixed with pellets and dirt. Next year I will be more cautious though with our food. I won't be adding more beds at this point.

I didn't get a chance to pick up BOSS. Though I did give her oats with molasses this morning and she loved it. She did flip her bowl eventually. I give her alfalfa hay every night and any dandelion greens I find I give her as well. Her personality is a sweet as ever. She just looks ragged.

Thank you thank you! Now I need to find a burlap sack or maybe I do the slurry way. I just want results now! Need to find a place to keep the stinky pot.

CJ is so pretty! They are all lovely!

Holy smokes! 13!! Yowsa! Good luck, hope it goes well. Do you have pictures? The giants intrigue me! I dream of having a guard Flemish Giant for my home. Scare people off..."GIANT RABBIT!! AHHHH!!"

I have oats and molasses. I will give her a bowl in the morning. BOSS can be obtained at a feed store? Thank you!

I'm guessing this has been discussed before but I am curious if I can make this simply and quickly. I want to be able to fertilize my vegetable starts with rabbit compost tea asap. Can I just put some poop in a bucket and add water? How long does it take to brew? What is the water/pellet ratio...

One of my does, Licorice, is on her 3rd kindle since the new year. She is looking thin and her hair is really falling out. I'm not going to breed her again until the heat of the summer has passed. Wondering what I can give her to rejuvenate her to her previous luster? I hate it. Had I known...

Zelda, my cousin's bun, is doing quite well. She actually got her at 7 weeks. I never did call my county or state about the age of a rabbit for sale. I guess I will assume it is 8 weeks henceforth. Though, I haven't had any interest for rabbit as pets. I wish there was...right now, people want...

Found this website. http://www.rabbitedsociety.webs.com/legislation.htm Might be useful to others. Not real helpful for Oregon.

Would I call the city to find out what age they can leave? Not sure where I would find that information.

Thank you guys. I will let her know what you said. I'm happy to check in on the bun. She will be just 5 minutes away. So no big deal.<br /><br />__________ Mon Apr 08, 2013 6:05 pm __________<br /><br />Next time I will wait until they are 8 weeks. I don't even know why I said 6 weeks. I guess...

It was really good. I did it the easy way. The rabbit was already cooked. Hubby is paranoid, so after butchering he boils rabbits for a couple hours and we pick the meat off the bones and freeze them in 2 lb bags. It was a lot of meat! I think I could have used more beans. But it was basically...
